Colt Gray, the teenager accused in the 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia, is scheduled to appear in Barrow County Superior Court for court proceedings that include a plea hearing and sentencing, according to court records cited by multiple outlets. Gray is expected to change his plea at a hearing set for July 24, after initially entering a not-guilty plea to a broad set of charges. Reports say the hearing is described in the filings as “non-negotiated,” meaning the plea is not tied to a predetermined agreement.
The charges brought against Gray include multiple counts of murder, along with other allegations such as aggravated assault and cruelty to children, with one account citing 55 total counts. The shooting, which occurred on Sept. 4, 2024, killed two teachers and two students and left additional people wounded, including students and staff. One report states Gray was 14 at the time of the shooting and is now 16.
The next court appearance is scheduled for July 24 in Winder, Georgia, where the judge is expected to address both plea and sentencing-related matters, as reflected in the referenced documents.
